ComicScene UK is a new, full colour A4 specialist monthly magazine, dedicated to everything comics! The living legend that is Pat Mills has been revealed to be writing a column each month, under the banner of ‘Last Word’ and if any of you know uncle Pat, he is knowledgeable and sometimes outspoken in his views but you don’t survive for long in the world of comics, if you don’t know what you are doing!

“The ‘Last Word’ column is expected to be as colourful, controversial and outspoken as his appearances in the recent 2000AD documentary ‘FutureShock’ and his book ‘Be Pure! Be Vigilant! Behave! – 2000AD and Judge Dredd: The Secret History’. Pat Mills said about the announcement, “I’m passionate about British comics and their unique place in the world. Unfortunately, their spirit can be diluted and devalued by trying to emulate the Americans, and by a certain bland, ‘make no waves’ thinking. I’m looking forward to shedding a little light on some dark corners of the industry, and suggesting some possible solutions in my new column: The Last Word!””
